The Way, Way Back Movie Review | |
| There's something slightly formulaic and familiar about Nat Faxon and Jim Rash's coming-of-age film The Way, Way Back, but not enough to dampen its crowd-pleasing charm. Chris Nashawaty-Entertainment Weekly Faxon and Rash do everything right: The characters are rich and recognizable, they expertly guide their dream cast and they even make the soundtrack part of the story, with several endearing references to 80s pop. Kyle Smith-New York Post Perfectly done, find-yourself-a-mentor comedies are hard to get right. Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News Navigates a crowd-pleasing middle ground between the mopey introspection of Adventureland and the raucous summer antics of Meatballs. William Goss-Film.com An endearingly sweet coming-of-ager. Peter Debruge-Variety Here is a low-key personalized movie that just might help a few depressed teenagers get through an otherwise less enjoyable summer. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com A strong ensemble cast deliver exceptionally fine performances, taking to Faxon and Rash's script like the scrumptious made for thespian buffet that it is. Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews Praises the electric carelessness of teenage angst while depicting it as if it were ultimately no more exciting, though no less pleasant, than an hour in the wave pool. Chris Cabin-Slant Magazine It is a work of outward simplicity but resonates with a depth that anyone who was ever an awkward teen will identify with instantly. Simon Foster-Screen-Space [The Descendants] was a movie ashamed of itself. The Way, Way Back is not that. Instead, it's kind of embarrassingly proud of itself. Hey, I'll always admire the latter over the former. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix Carell's character is certainly a darker one than we've seen from him before, and that may be a tough sell for audiences used to the actor playing sunnier types. Cory Everett-The Playlist The Way, Way Back is a funny and wonderfully-told tale about the beginning of one teen's autonomy at a time where everything remains out of his control. Rob Hunter-Film School Rejects It would be easy to get overly critical regarding the familiar beats of this crowd-pleaser but that would miss the point. It's a funny movie with a great ensemble performance, a sweet heart, and a note-perfect ending. Brian Tallerico-Film Threat The performances are solid throughout but Rockwell steals it, doing a riff on the characters Bill Murray played in movies like Stripes - the fast-talking, smart guy who really has a bigger heart than he likes to let on. Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com Nat Faxton and Jim Rash's directorial debut may not be breaking any new ground but this is a warm and funny tale, helped enormously by good performances and a snappy script. Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film Sam Rockwell steals this show. Feels like this year's LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE. Chris Bumbray-JoBlo's Movie Emporium When the credits roll, one is left thinking less of the fate of the characters than of the rollcall of Sundance offerings this film resembles. Damon Wise-Guardian [UK] The Way, Way Back is everything you want in a laugh out loud, crowd-pleasing, coming-of-age movie. Chase Whale-Twitch | |
